The Kansas City Blues compete in the USA Rugby Division 1, the highest amateur level.

The Blues currently practice and play their home matches at the Children’s Mercy Training Facility at Swope Soccer Village.

In 1997, the Blues became founding members of the United States Rugby Super League (USA / 1997-2012), composed of the top 14 teams in the nation.

Ultimately, the Division 1 team lost a close match (23-20) to Belmont Shore (California), who won the National Championship that season.

Since the Blues joined the Midwest Premiership, they amassed an impressive Division 1 league record of 40-18 from 2013 to 2017.

In 2014, the Blues lost in the National Semi-Finals but won a spirited match against regional foe and rivals, the Denver Barbarians, to take 3rd place.

[1] The fall season consists of local and regional match play, highlighted by the annual trek to the Aspen Ruggerfest and the start to the split-season West Division 1 North and Division 3 Heart of America League match play.

Throughout the fall and spring, the Reserve team plays League matches against regional Division 3 clubs.
